The Hartlepool Deadlypool

[maryportfuncity 10,684]

Given Soares early demise Sara Coward was sitting atop my line up.

 

How's Tony Booth doing these days?

 

 

Well better than Peter Skellern who's sitting a couple of places below him on my list, anyway

[msc 18,536]

A quick tot up of my team suggests 6/13 (including one early starter and 2 subs) are now gone, and Downie/Ricketts/Nevin/Bracknell/Elias/Christie/Van Zandvliet left standing.

 

Don't think I'll win, but I am fairly confident of cutting that team down further.

Hell yeah - I'm regretting Peters (because I think he'll see a few of his team mates out) but otherwise fairly confident we'll have a high scoring nail-biter hereabouts. Current state of my line up:

 

HPDP TEAM 2017

 

Mario Soares - DEAD

Sara Coward - DEAD

Tony Booth

Emma Morano

Peter Skellern - DEAD

John Wetton - DEAD

Billy Graham

Leah Bracknell

Gord Downie

Martin Peters

[Death Impends 8,043]

I have two hits on mine so far, Coward, and sub Prof Irwin Corey. Don't think I posted my team before (outside of the PM to Ali, of course!), so may as well now.

 

1. Sara Coward
2. Errol Christie
3. Michael I of Romania
4. Shelley Berman
5. Glen Campbell
6. June Foray
7. Morton Sobell
8. Yegor Ligachyov
9. Rose Marie
10. Nanette Fabray

SUBS:

Peter Carrington
Professor Irwin Corey

[msc 18,536]

Oh, its June Foray!

 

A quick glance at the public teams give us:

 

MorbidKid 1/12, MPFC 4/11, Uschi 1/12, Drol 4/12, Pedro 3/12, Dead Cow 1/12, Hades 1/11, Joey 1/12, Radguy 4/12, Msc 6/13, Toast 1/12, Death impends 2/12

 

In terms of hits, but I will obviously leave the table/placings/etc to Ali for the obvious reasons.

 

1. It's his game!

2. It's Maths. I studied Dickens to get away from Maths.

3. I don't actually understand the points rules anyway!

 

But yeah, we seem to be having a fast and furious Deadlypool to go along with the DDP.

[drol 12,137]

Second place for number of hits. Surprisingly, I chose my picks randomly after sending my DDP team and other 657 deadpool teams. Don't even remember I put Skellern and Coward in.

[Toast 16,232]

My HPDP picks are not exactly random, but chosen for variety. I like to have the interest of (mostly) completely different picks from my other d/p teams.

This means I have little chance of ever winning, but in this particular game one may always expect the unexpected.

[Joey Russ 7,263]

I just wrote the first ten celebrities that came to my head tbh.

[msc 18,536]

I tend to go for random old people, but I decided to go for ill people this year for a change. The Hartlepool Deadlypool was the first forum deadpool I ever took part in, back when it was on its own website and I was gracefully allowed to enter half my 2011 DDP team that I screwed up sending that year.

 

Got 4 hits that year: Lubbock, Courtney, Gough and Rafferty.

Anyone who snagged Hewlett at the end of last year has a good gamble that's gonna pay off soonish. I left him out because calling his place in the running order seemed a long-shot back then.

[CaptainChorizo 1,991]

I figured he probably would be a spring or summer hit so anywhere in a middle spot would be a safe way to go.

[maryportfuncity 10,684]

Aye, well - he doesn't think he'll be a summer hit.

 

Nailed on within a matter of weeks by the looks of it.

[Rotten Ali 600]

Hi everyone waiting for me to get my sh1t together...

Sorry about the wait.

right... this situation with Morbid Kid picking Ricky Javon Gray. Rule 5 states...

 

Anyone selecting tender-aged sufferers of terminal diseases or anyone under sentence of death or highly likely to be sentenced to death at the start of the year will be summarily ridiculed and very likely penalised in an arbitrary and unpleasant way should their candidates actually die or be killed.

 

Punishment is as follows I will now roll two dice and if it comes out double anything then that's the score you get as a minus score. Multiplication of the two dice will be your score instead of the basic 45 points and unique bonus points due.  So that could be between minus 12 and plus 30. 

 

 Ough high 4 and 5.

 

Morbid Kid will be scoring 20 for this hit.

[YoungWillz 21,211]

I'd now ridicule Morbidkid, but he's suspended, so...

Anyway, I haven't had a hit yet, so that saves RA some time on the scoreboard, ha ha.

And welcome back RA...

He's having a bad week, eh? So much so I might forgo the ridicule in this situation.

[Rotten Ali 600]

Got a load of catching up to do...

 

7th Jan - from above, that hit on Ricky Jovan Gray only pays 20 point for morbid kid.

15th Jan - Jimmy Snuka - gcreptile bags 20 points, Drol gets 25.1 points, Jiroemon Kimura gets just 10.2 points and our leader Rad Guy gets 40.3 points.

26th Jan - MTM - Book gains just 5 points, I'm Not Hades bags a cool 50.1 points and JoeyRuss 50.3 points.

27th Jan - Paul McGill - really don't think a national obit will arrive so I'm going to pay out half points and not drop those above, 2.5 pts for msc.

31st Jan - John Wetton - Maryport gets 30 points and Captain Chorizo 30.1 points.

6th Feb - "prof'" Irwin Corey - off the subs bench - straight 25 points for Death Impends.

[msc 18,536]

Awesome, great work Ali!

 

Be afraid Rad Guy, be very afraid!

 

 

Although, Maryport is appearing ominously in the rear-view mirror.

[Joey Russ 7,263]

Shouldn't I be in tenth. Some numbers around the 50 point mark are not in the correct order. 

[gcreptile 11,074]

I was waiting for this to announce that, in spite of my earlier announcement not to participate, I submitted a team after all, after I realized that the rules DID allow for early scoring. I apologized to RottenAli.

 

Anyway, here's my team:

1. Sara Coward

2. Ben Suisala (no obit)

3. Catherine Nevin

4. King Michael of Romania

5. Peter Skellern

6. Connie Johnson

7. Jimmy Snuka

8. Ginger Baker

9. Zusana Ruzickova

10. Valeri Spiridonov

 

Subs:

Glen Campbell, Billy Graham

 

Now, Jimmy Snuka's early demise already destroyed much of my chances, but I'm still happy to be in.

Does Suisala fall under a tender pick rule? 

[Death Impends 8,043]

Per past experience (not anyone I've picked, but what I've seen of similar picks in this game)? Tender-aged applies to under eighteens, so at 25 he'd be fine agewise. However Ali has sometimes imposed penalties on cancer mum/dad picks even if they're already adults, usually by the removal of the unique bonus, though that's not a hard rule to my knowledge.

Sorry to trouble you Mr Ali, but should I get something for Skellern or Coward ?

Edited February 28, 2017 by Pedro67

[Rotten Ali 600]

Pesto 67 is so very right that I've missed him off the allocation of points.  Very sorry.  Just shows how out of the swing I've been of late.  Combo 60 points added below 35 for Skellern and 25 for Sara Coward.  Those who also had Peter Skellern - gcreptile, Drol, MPFC, msc and Bibliogryphon also get an extra micro point.

Cheers Ali. I like the spelling mistake so much I might adopt 'Pesto' permanently
